Abstract
A separator having a multi-flow drain includes a housing having a cylinder-shaped hollow provided therein, an inlet and an outlet formed at an upper portion thereof, and a drain formed at a lower portion thereof, an outer barrel disposed coaxially with the housing inside the housing, and having a smaller diameter than an intermediate member, an inner barrel disposed coaxially with the outer barrel inside the outer barrel, and having a smaller diameter than the outer barrel, a plunger configured to move up and down inside the inner barrel, and a floater configured to be movable up and down in a predetermined range by the plunger, while having a hollow to have buoyancy.
Claims6
A separator including a multi-flow drain, the separator comprising:
- a housing comprising an intermediate member having a cylinder-shaped hollow, and an upper member and a lower member formed at both ends in a length direction of the intermediate member, the upper member having an inlet and an outlet, the lower member having a drain;
- an outer barrel disposed coaxially with the housing inside the housing, and having a smaller diameter than an intermediate member;
- an inner barrel disposed coaxially with the outer barrel inside the outer barrel, and having a smaller diameter than the outer barrel;
- a plunger configured to move up and down inside the inner barrel;
- a floater configured to be movable up and down in a predetermined range by the plunger, while being hollow to have buoyancy;
- a discharge valve having a guide protrusion, a diameter-reduced portion, a grooved portion and an adhering portion, the guide protrusion protruding upward to penetrate a center of the floater, the guide protrusion disposed coaxially on a central axis of the intermediate member, the guide protrusion protruding along a longitudinal direction to function to guide the floater to linearly move up and down along a longitudinal axis, the diameter-reduced portion having a reduced diameter and formed on an inner circumferential surface of the discharge valve, the grooved portion and the adhering portion extending downward of a piston;
- a pressure hole formed through a thickness in a side surface of the discharge valve;
- and
- the piston configured to be movable up inside the discharge valve, the piston being moved up by pressure of fluid introduced through the pressure hole;
- a first filter member disposed on an upper outer circumferential surface of the outer barrel;
- a flow hole formed in a lower outer circumferential surface of the outer barrel;
- and
- a second filter member formed to block the flow hole.
